ABOUT

These aren't the musos you're looking for...

Coming back to music after a (very) long pause. Re-building some skills and re-kindling old passions.

Most recently, I've been having sporadic involvement in a band's wrap-up and a (now shelved) band reboot but interested in hearing from any drummers I can click with musically and also happy to jump in and make noise with guitarists/vocalists/etc.

Pissing-about a bit with production too, so generally keen on getting some tracking/mixing time in (primarily with drummers and vocalists, female vox in particular).

Check my "influences" section to gauge our musical compatibility. For any purely tracking/mixing endeavours though, matching my preferred genre isn't as crucial.

Influences

Started out playing when Pistols, Clash, Ramones, Jam, etc were the current thing...then continued-on into the 80s and beyond with Business, Sparrer, Rejects, 4-Skins and the like. This still overwhelmingly defines my musical tastes.

To a lesser extent, running up to and then into that point, probably throw-in some very early Bowie, Bon Scott-era AC/DC and Rose Tattoo as influences.

A slightly more contemporary middle-ground would be gear along the lines of RUST (Sydney).
